Male Dolphin Kills Man

Male dolphins definitely prefer human females. In fact, a recent
incident at a Sao Paulo, Brazil, beach reveals an antagonism toward
human males. A wild, resident male dolphin, noted for his friendliness
toward women swimmers, attacked two human males, who were evidently
considered to be romantic competitors. One of the men died from
internal hemorrhaging after being butted by the dolphin. The other
man received a broken rib. (Anonymous; "Dolphin Prefers Women,
Kills Male Playmate," Washington Times, December 11,

Comment. Obviously, dolphins are not always as friendly
as Flipper. In fact, a recent TV documentary related how a female
snorkeler was seized (gently) by a male false killer whale (a
type of dolphin) and dragged down 100 feet before being released
unhurt though nearly drowned. For additional discussions of the
humananimal interface, see Biological Anomalies: Humans III.
